I have though about doing this but, how do you deploy the trolling motor into the water when it is launched off the trailer. I can not launch mine with the trolling in the down position.

What's the point of all that? Why not tie the boat to the dock, go park the truck, untie the boat, then take off? Sounds kinda old school but it's worked forever.

If I remember right, I think the manual says 1/2 mile.


I use my I-Pilot to keep it off the dock when I find myself in three different scenarios:
1 � When the courtesy dock is full of boats.

2 � When the courtesy dock is full of people fishing (next to the signs that say �No fishing from courtesy dock�).

3 � When there is a strong wind blowing into the dock. That way, IF there was an electrical malfunction the wind would blow the boat back to me rather than away.

I tried it once and it worked great for me. I have noticed from time to time the GPS does lose signal or maybe thought something wasnt set right on the controll. Anybody else have the stoplock stop from time to time.

I've had mine lose spotlock a few times but I think it's from me hitting a button on the remote unknowingly. Now when I'm "anchored" I take the remote off my neck and I haven't had a problem since.
